This ignited criticism from many people in Hong Kong, who said that the Communist leadership was reneging on its pledges to abide by the "one country, two systems" policy that allows for a democratic, autonomous Hong Kong under Beijing's rule.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://mobile.nytimes.com/blogs/sinosphere/2014/06/11/beijings-white-paper-sets-off-a-firestorm-in-hong-kong/ | title = Beijing's 'White Paper' Sets Off a Firestorm in Hong Kong | work = The New York Times | date = 11 June 2014 | accessdate = 23 June 2014}}</ref>
 
During the [[2014 Hong Kong protests]], students demanded more political freedom in direct response to the [[2014 NPCSC Decision on Hong Kong|"831 decision" of the NPCSC]]. The participants demanded freedom of choice, electorial freedom, democracy and, in particular, they wanted to participate during the elections of the head of the administration of Hong Kong. The name umbrella movement originated because the students protected themselves with umbrellas from the pepper spray of the police. Thus, umbrellas became the symbol of this movement.<ref name="refa1" /> In 2016, Joshua Wong, Alex Chow and Nathan Law, student leaders of the protests, were indicted for their roles in the protests and found guilty.

Although the "one country, two systems" guarantees that Hong Kong's economic and [[political system]]s will not be changed for 50 years after the British handover in 1997, [[Mainland Affairs Council]] of the Republic of China has cited 169 cases in which they claim the PRC has breached the right of the people of Hong Kong to self-rule and severely intervened in the judicial system as well as freedom of speech.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.mac.gov.tw/ct.asp?xItem=44531&ctNode=6339&mp=3&xq_xCat=2006 | title = News Release, MAC Pres Release No. 065 | work= Mainland Affairs Council | date=29 June 2006 | accessdate = 18 October 2016}}</ref>
 
Since the accession of [[Hu Jintao]] as the [[General Secretary of the Communist Party of China]] on 15 November 2002, the PRC has stopped promoting immediate unification via "one country, two systems", although it remains official policy. The "one country, two systems" framework was not mentioned in the [[Anti-Secession Law of the People's Republic of China]] passed on 14 March 2005 to prevent the growing [[Taiwan independence movement]] at that time. A new policy of gradual economic integration and political exchanges is now preferred under the [[1992 Consensus]]:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.brookings.edu/views/op-ed/ohanlon/20050501.htm|title=The Risk of War Over Taiwan is Real|work=Financial Times|date=1 May 2005|accessdate=26 July 2006|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20051231053934/http://www.brookings.edu/views/op-ed/ohanlon/20050501.htm|archivedate=31 December 2005|df=dmy-all}}</ref> this new policy was emphasised during the [[2005 Pan-Blue visits to mainland China]] in April 2005<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/World/Hopes-grow-as-second-Taiwan-leader-visits-China/2005/05/12/1115843308418.html|title=Hopes grow as second Taiwan leader visits China|date=13 May 2005|accessdate=26 July 2006 | location=Melbourne | work=The Age}}</ref> as well as all subsequent major cross-strait exchanges, especially after [[Ma Ying-jeou]] from the pro-reunification [[Kuomintang]] party won the [[Republic of China presidential election, 2008|2008 Republic of China presidential election]].

Due to the growing pressure for the pro-independence [[Democratic Progressive Party]] (DPP) to engage in the cross-strait development over the past recent years developed by KMT-CPC, the DPP finally softened its stance on its [[Taiwan independence movement]] when the former chairman [[Frank Hsieh]] visited Mainland China on 4–8 October 2012, a groundbreaking visit by the highest rank in DPP, although he claimed that this trip was done in his private capacity and as a non-politician.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2012/10/02/2003544157|title=Frank Hsieh confirms visit to China – Taipei Times|accessdate=12 September 2014}}</ref> The DPP also established its party China Affairs Committee on 21 November 2012<ref>[http://www.kmt.org.tw/english/page.aspx?type=article&mnum=112&anum=12196 "General news: Su to Chair DPP’s 'China Affairs Committee'"].
